Sure it would if we'd ever treat, "The War on Drugs" like an actual war.That will never succeed as the cartels deliberately oversupply the market to cover their losses. Although finishing the wall would help.
Regarding fentanyl (the really bad stuff) addicts and users are well aware of the danger. Enter the Darwin Effect.
There has never been a period in our nations history when we didn’t have immigrants from all over the world. Read up on Ellis Island.Actually it does, they don't have a constant stream of immigrants from all over the world coming in to the country every day. They also have essentially a pure culture with a thousand year history of working together for their common survival.
"Diversity" is not a benefit in such times.
Sure, law enforcement and particularly border enforcement because that's where most of the really bad stuff is coming from.
Dry up the supply and you'll dry up a whole lot of addicts.

There's three prongs:
One-aimed at the cartels directly on their home turf.
Two-Secure our damned border.
Three-Label our gangs who distribute the dope in the US as the terrorist organizations that they are and eliminate them.
We need millions more prison beds.
Part of preparing for war is the production of body bags and coffins, in anticipation of many deaths. We need to prepare the logistics for the war on crime by provide more prison space for the millions that need to be arrested and incarcerated.
I agree with these two. Drugs gangs are guilty of racketeering and could be prosecuted under the R.I.C.O. law.Two-Secure our damned border.
Three-Label our gangs who distribute the dope in the US as the terrorist organizations that they are and eliminate them.
No prison if they reveal their dealer.We need to quit filling those bed with those people for smoking pot or other such stupid stuff.
We are a large country. Of course we will have lots of people in prison.We have the highest Incarceration rates in the world and the largest prison population of any country.
I can agree with that. Actually my plan calls for more secure facilities for addicts. Much cheaper than prisons.The last thing we need are more prisons, we just need to use them more wisely.

That would be a dealer.or just a user with "too much" on his person.
Apples and oranges.China and India are bigger and we have almost as many as they do combined. And no industrialized nation comes close to our rate per 1000 people
Why should being an addict be against the law? Do you also wish to put alcoholics in the same place as the addicts?
That would be a dealer.

Drug addicts and users fund the entire illegal drug business, causing $billions to be spent on drug/law enforcement
Detain the users and addicts and the money dries up. Individual drug users and addicts can spend tens of thousands on drugs each year.
The point is to control people's behavior.If we did not make stupid drug laws, then law enforcement would not need to be spending that money. Every dime spent on controlling pot is a total waste of money for the Govt.
That's fine, as long as it's their own money. Stealing from others doesn't make it your money.Which they should have the freedom to do just like people are free to spend tens of thousands on booze each year or tens of thousands on gambling each year.

Except for the murders addicts and users do far more damage than dealers do. Why give them a pass?
Yes. I do not think that is the job of the Govt unless that behavior is doing direct harm to someone else.
Then put them in jail for theft.
Arrest them for doing those crimes. If an addict is not doing those things then they should not be punished by the Govt
Indirect is just as harmful. Addicts are 'accessories' to crime.Yes. I do not think that is the job of the Govt unless that behavior is doing direct harm to someone else.
Easier to catch them using illegal drugs. Many sell sex, and spread disease, to pay for their habit.Then put them in jail for theft.
They are guilty of knowingly purchasing a controlled substance. If I knowingly buy a stolen TV I'm as guilty as the thief.Arrest them for doing those crimes. If an addict is not doing those things then they should not be punished by the Govt

Sure, if they grew it themselves, and no one else is in the living room to breathe the smoke.They are guilty of a crime that should not be a crime, that is my point. Someone smoking pot in their living room is not harming anyone.
Firm authority when needed.I suppose we will just have to disagree on the purpose and responsibility of the government. You are far more authoritarian than I am
